Tangled

We went to the movies today for Thanksgiving and took the girls to see Tangled. It was such a cute show. During the show while Eugene and Rapunzel were about to kiss, Avery yelled, "Are they married yet?"
The rows of people in front of us and behind us all laughed out loud as well as we did. At the end of the show she asked again, "Are they married now? Did they get married in the temple?! I didn't see her in a white dress?" We have grinned that into our girls, that when you get older and met your "prince" that Heavenly Father wants us to be married and sealed in the temple for eternity. Glad to know Avery has caught onto that lesson.

Too much fun

We were at a friend's house tonight for Thanksgiving dinner, and Madi and Avery didn't listen to us very well, so we told them once we got into the car that we were disappointed in them. We told them to keep it down many times and to stop running around and they didn't listen. So Madi tells us on the way home:

"Dad, we were having so much fun, we COULDN'T hear you!"

Telling a Lie

This morning I slept in an extra hour while the girls watched cartoons. I came out of the bedroom to be with them and noticed Madi hiding behind a pillow. I said, What's wrong Madi? Don't be scared of Clifford, it's not a scary show. She said, "I'm not scared Mom. I don't like it because T-bone(one of the dogs on the show) is lying. He really did do it and he is lying about it."

She is so sensitive and knows right from wrong at such a young age. I love these qualities about her. She is such a good example to me and makes me want to be a better mom. love you Madi!

yells like a girl

Last week, Avery and I were walking up to Madi's School to get her from class and this little boy, a few yards from us, all of a sudden yells really loud. Avery looks at me and says, "That boy yells like a girl!"

Lots of good Ideas

My conversation with Avery yesterday...it went something like this:

Me: Oh, no. We have to go pick up Madi at school soon and it's raining so hard, what are we going to do? We are going to get all wet!

A: Yeah, we are gonna get wet! We will just run really fast!

Me: Run? What do you mean?

A: We have to run fast so we don't get wet. And get in the car!

Me: But it's raining so hard that we will get wet even if we run fast. So how do we stay dry?

A: We get a UN-brella!

Me: Yeah, that will work! Good thinking Avery. But what about our feet? They will get wet going through all those puddles?

A: We will jump over them so we don't get wet!

Me: Good idea!

A: Yeah, that's an idea.

Me: Well our shoes will still get wet and our pants. How should we keep them dry?

A: We wear our boots!

Me: Yeah! Good idea. You are just full of good ideas, Avery!

A: Yeah. I gots lots of them.

hehe....=)

Tor-Ma-Doe

Rainstorm! It's been raining like crazy here the last hour, just massive amounts of rain. Well my husband called  from work saying her heard there was a tornado about two miles from here, so he called to check on us and tell us. I looked at the news/weather Chanel and told Avery there was a tornado. She looked at me WIDE-EYED and very seriously and with her high-pitched screechy voice yelled, "There's a TOR-MA-DOE?! AHHHHH!"

I laughed out loud.

Then she said, "What's a Tor-ma-doe Mom??

We were going to the store and Madisen asked if we could get her favorite cereal, Fruit Loops. We asked, what else do we need. Avery yells out, "We need candies and princesses too!"

Oh really??
